Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork loin roast
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Thyme (dried)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels. Rub the Cajun seasoning evenly over all sides of the pork.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Slice the yellow onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In the bottom of your crock pot, layer the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to create a bed for the pork roast.

Step 5

Place the seared pork loin roast on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the chicken broth, paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the pork and vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the pork roast is tender and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pork from the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the pork loin roast with the tender vegetables and some of the flavorful juices from the crock pot.
